From: Carsten Schoenert <[email protected]> While working on a update of the Debian packages for the latest KiCad stable release the de-duplication tool [1] was again mentioning the lots of duplicated data [2] in the HTML documentation.
I created a patch to decrease this duplication for the Debian packaging. Unfortunately not completely but at least to not copy every time for all targets the whole images folder again and again. The best solution in my eyes would be to copy the images from the English "mother" to the respective /share/doc/kicad/help/$LANG/images/ folder. The files for $LANG than should be placed in /share/doc/kicad/help/$LANG/images/$LANG like already done now. By this every single language is in itself some kind of closed and has no other dependencies. On the other hand all $LANG packages can be symlinked to /share/doc/kicad/help/en/images and the data can be de-duplicated by this. But this would need to change every language. The commit message is mentioning also another possibility. Place every time all images in and only in /share/doc/kicad/help/$LANG/images/ folder. I haven't looked into the M$ and Apple world, so maybe my intention is breaking there. Any thoughts how to improve teh situation here, this way or some other way?
